    University of Twente Department of Governance and Technology and Sustainability (CSTM) Master of Science in Environmental and Energy Management (MEEM) Academic Year 2018/2019 Big Oil facing energy transition: implications, corporate strategies and role as incumbent regime companies Final draft August 30th, 2019 Giacomo Franco s2208180, [email protected] Supervisors: • Dr. Frans Coenen • Dr. Maarten Arentsen Abstract The biggest Western private Oil&Gas multinationals, collectively known as Big Oil or supermajors, have to face the implications of the energy transition, trying to balance different trade-offs in their corporate strategies. This final thesis both analyses these business strategies in detail and considers Big Oil companies’ situation as examples of incumbent regime players, following the academic literature framework of multi-level perspective (MLP) and socio- technical transitions, which in fact divides the environment under study in landscape (exogenous context), regime (the established socio-technological system) and niches (the socio- technological innovations) levels. The different companies developed different approaches, particularly depending on being based in Europe or in the US: a “Transatlantic divide” has actually emerged, given that the European supermajors show more relevant environmental and low-carbon commitments in their activities than the American companies. Even if all of them are still keeping investing mostly in upstream activities, indeed, common transition trends mainly include cutting emissions in their operations, refocusing to natural gas in their portfolio and, in particular for the European companies, especially diversifying their business towards biofuels and renewable energy sources. However, as expected from the socio-technical transition and MLP literature, at the same time the supermajors still follow also a resistance strategy with regard to climate change-related energy transition, making use of several leverages to preserve their position as incumbent regime companies in the current energy system.
